    “There is no Frigate like a Book
    To take us Lands away

    Without oppress of Toll –
    How frugal is the Chariot
    That bears a Human soul.”

    “Blood fills my mouth. Fire sears my veins. I choke back a howl. The silver knife slips--the
    choice is mine.
    I am death or life. I am salvation or destruction. Angel or demon.
    I am grace.
    I plunge in the knife.
    This is my sacrifice--
    I am the monster.”
